Chapter 308 We shouldn’t do anything illegal!
"Look, your father and I only have you as our daughter. No matter what we say, don't we all hope for the best for you? Don't look at Yinhua's father being tough. When Yinhua was making trouble a while ago, he was drinking outside. When he was drunk, he even cried in front of the villagers! He said that Yinhua should have gone to high school. At least after graduating from high school, she wouldn't have been deceived by Gangzi's sweet words. Now she lives like this." Su's mother said.
"That sounds nice, but you still don't want Yinhua to get divorced and go back for the sake of your son's marriage." Su Yuchen couldn't help but retort.
"Oh, I'm just giving you an example. It's not just because her father doesn't allow her to divorce, she herself doesn't want to divorce, right?"
"That's just what her family instilled in her since she was little. She's always trying to grab everything from me, only to have to give everything to her little brother."
"Oh, I'm talking about you. Why do you always talk about Yinhua's family?" Su's mother was very helpless.
"You were the one who brought this up first. When have you ever said I didn't bring up Yinhua? But you guys change your attitudes pretty quickly. Yinhua used to be a positive example of urging marriage, but now she's become a negative example?" Su Yuchen teased.
"...You tell me." Mother Su took a deep breath and pushed the responsibility of educating the child to Father Su again.
"We're different from Yinhua's family. Your mom means that even Yinhua's father wouldn't eat his own cubs, so we're no different. Regardless of whether we're urging you to get married or not, it's all for your own good." Father Su straightened his expression and tapped the table. "Your mom and I used to hope you'd get married soon. We watched Yinhua get married and have children, and every time she came home, the two of them would be together, and then three. We were envious and hoped you'd find someone who cared for you. How could we have known she was living like this in private?"
Seeing that Father Su was serious, Su Yuchen stopped interrupting, put away his mischievous smile and listened attentively.
"Your fourth mother called a while ago and said that her eldest sister's daughter was going to marry her boyfriend of four years, but at the last minute they broke up. She said that the boyfriend's family was poor, and her eldest sister's family provided him with food and shelter, but she only had eyes for the man as a person. But because the man got a better job opportunity and hooked up with a woman with better conditions, he was so eager to turn his back on her and cut off all ties with her daughter!
Our generation started families early, and your mother and I never had second thoughts about each other. I don't know what's wrong with your generation, but every marriage is so stressful. Your mother and I are afraid now, having heard so much, and we don't dare force you. But we hope you can develop some skills and a reliable job, at least enough to support yourself. That way, no matter how your marriage turns out, you'll have a way out," Su's father said earnestly.
"Look, you used to say that Xiaojing's restaurant was doing well and that she could make tens or even hundreds of thousands a month, but your father and I didn't believe it. But these past few days since she came here, yesterday's reserved banquet was enough to earn your father a month's salary. And today we got to taste her cooking skills, so your father and I have completely experienced it. How can we not believe it?" Mother Su continued, echoing Father Su's words. "Xiaojing has her own abilities and skills, so she won't have to worry about anything in the future. You two play together every day, so you should learn from her.
Of course, I don't expect you to learn cooking, and you can't teach me how to cook, but you can talk to Xiaojing about ideas and learn other skills. Xiaojing started from scratch, so it never hurts to learn more."
"It's not that your job is bad, but I heard from your aunt that computers are now available in your field, and a lot of people will be unemployed soon. Plus, you work overtime every day. Although we're not in a hurry to force you to get married, you don't even have time for a relationship. If you lose your job again, you'll be caught in the middle. How can your mother and I not worry?"
Su's father and mother took turns to speak, and Su Yuchen and Zhao Xiaojing finally understood what they meant. It turned out that now they were comparing the current living conditions of two peers, Yinhua and Zhao Xiaojing, and began to be prepared for the future of Su Yuchen.
Su Yuchen did not answer, but fell into strange silence and looked at Zhao Xiaojing.
"Why aren't you talking? What are you looking at Xiaojing doing? Well, that's all you can say. Your father and I are not asking anything of you, and you shouldn't put too much pressure on yourself. We are not expecting you to make as much money as Xiaojing. We just want you to learn some skills. If it really doesn't work out, your father can find someone to help you. You can take the exam for a job in Yangcheng, or in our town if that doesn't work out. It would be fine if you can settle down there! You keep working in Jiangcheng, and there is no room for advancement and no stability. It will be a problem in the long run." Su's mother said anxiously.
"You are not trying to sting the police by saying this, right?" Su Yuchen asked uncertainly after looking around at Su's father and mother's faces.
"What kind of fish are we fishing for?" Su's father was puzzled, and Su's mother also looked very confused.
"It seems you didn't cheat me." Su Yuchen breathed a sigh of relief. "Do you really think opening a shop is better than me working?"
"It's not that opening a shop is better than working for you, it's that Xiaojing has the ability. No matter whether she opens a shop or works as a master, she can be independent. It's better than you wasting time in Jiangcheng for the past two years." Father Su said.
"Uncle and aunt, what do you think if Su Zi quits her current job and opens a shop with me?" Zhao Xiaojing saw that Su Yuchen was in a dilemma and didn't know how to start, so she asked tentatively.
"Oh, that will cause you so much trouble. She can't do anything. Your store is already open and making so much money. She will just be taking advantage of the situation! That's not what we mean. Don't think too much!" Mother Su waved her hands hurriedly.
"Xiao Jing, our main purpose is to find a secure future for Chenzi while she is still young and there is still time to do anything. This is not to let her rely on you to tell you. It is not easy for you to open a restaurant from scratch, but you can't let Chenzi take advantage of her because of a few words from us." Father Su then explained.
Su Yuchen raised her eyebrows and asked Zhao Xiaojing with her eyes. Zhao Xiaojing glanced at Su's father and mother and gave her an affirmative look in return.
"What are you two saying in secret? Oh, Chenzi, what are you thinking?" Su's mother became anxious again.
Su Yuchen glanced at her, lowered his head and fiddled with his phone for a while, then gave a very cunning smile, "Mom, take the money."
"What money?" Su's mother was confused when her cell phone rang. Su Yuchen motioned for her to look at the phone.
"Why are you transferring money to me? You gave me 20,000 yuan when you went home, and then 18,000 yuan. Where do you have the money left? Here, here, here, transfer it back! What do we need your money for!" Su's mother said as she handed over the phone and asked Su Yuchen to transfer the money again.
"Take another good look." Su Yuchen didn't answer and raised his chin towards the phone.
"What are you looking at? Your father and I have money! Go back and use it for yourself." Su's mother was about to get anxious and angry.
"Auntie, take a look." Zhao Xiaojing blinked.
Su's mother lowered her head in disbelief and opened the text message again. "One hundred and eighty thousand?! Where did you get so much money?!"
"Let me see!" Father Su hurriedly took the phone.
"My daughter, we can't do anything illegal!" Father Su was shocked.
